In closing this volume, I am constrained, in view of certain demonstra- tions promulgated by Lewis Wright, of England, in a late expensive poultry book he has issued in London, to conclude my account of the " Chixa Fowl, Shanghae, Cochin, and ' Brahma,'' " with a brief personal protest against the rigmarole and pointless twaddle embodied in said Wright's recent attacks upon me in that work, and its smaller predecessor, wherein he has so wantonly assailed Mr. G. P. Burnham and his poultry-stock, by his utterly senseless and groundless attempt at argument in reference to the origin of the mythical Cornish-Chamberlin-Sailor-Hatch-Bennett-Brahmapootra "im- portation of fowls from Luckipoor, in India;" which silly tale, for twenty odd years /have known, and which every fancier in America has been confident.
